With the current speed of Artificial Intelligence (AI) development known to speed up and improve enterprises’ productivity, Kaspersky researcher underscored the dangers of “blind trust” and lack of verification on AI, and how cyberattackers exploit these gaps with no vulnerability but with just trust.
“AI has advanced at a tremendous pace over the past few years. In its early stages, AI took the form of tools that could generate, summarise, and draft content. The next phase brought copilots, embedding AI directly into workflows to assist, suggest and guide users as they worked. Fast forward to now, we have entered the era of AI agents, which can plan, use tools, call APIs, and act autonomously. While humans remain present to verify each stage of an AI-driven development, we see more and more incidents where verification is often overlooked to maximise productivity, and when speed outpaces verification, that speed can also amplify risks,” warns Sojun Ryu, security researcher at Kaspersky's GReAT (Global Research and Analysis Team).
